The Trouble with Harry could be a comp. Hitchcock film w a romance subplot and a dead body. It’s so funny!! One of my fave Hitchcock films tbh I would #mswl

I was diagnosed in 1994, and The Babysitters’ Club was the only reason I knew what diabetes was too. I still want a YA with type I diabetes rep. #mswl

#RomBkLove 2020 Day 27: Bodyguard romances. Ah, a trope I always enjoy. Two recent reads are Pop Star by Eden Finley and Royally Endowed by Emma Chase. I feel like there was a gender swapped one I really enjoyed but if there isn’t, then I’d like to #MSWL that 😂

#MSWL (it doesn’t have to be bc of a quarantine, tbh I prefer it not be)

#MSWL you guys. I want stories of people helping each other out during the hardest of times and finding love and friendship and hope in the face of trauma. Bonus points if it takes place in PR.

(I reopen to queries Feb 1st)

Often the most bonkers stories that I would have never come up with to #mswl in a million years are the ones I want to rep the most. So, like, listen to @AngelinaMLo.

#same tbh #mswl

So my #MSWL would be a book where one of the characters have a chronic illness (like diabetes) but not where the plot is all about them having the illness. It’s just a character trait & sometimes you have to deal with it but mostly you just live & love & have GMC unrelated to it.

I have a heavy focus on #Latinx stories/voices for obvious reasons BUT that doesn't mean I'm not interested in other groups/cultures. I want to support underrepresented voices getting a seat at the publishing table & welcome these stories in all the genres I happen to rep. #MSWL

I'm open to all things #LGBTQ+, but beyond m/m, f/f pairings I want to see stories about people from all rows of the spectrum. Bi, pan, demi, ace, trans, there are so many stories to be told about love and identity here.

#MSWL

In SFF, I love a kickass heroine doing kickass things. I want to see a diverse group of people (in a multicultural/gender/sexuality sense) coming together to fight whatever BIG BAD there is. While High Fantasy isn't a good fit, pretty much everything else is.

#MSWL

I know summer is over (sob!) but I'm still looking for that summer vacation love story. It could take place at the beach or lake or in an exotic city, but I want something where there are real stakes involved with what happens when summer ends. (YA/Adult)

#MSWL

I'd also love to see some #Caribbean/#Latinx post-Hurricane Irma/Maria stories, stories that tackle the issues head-on but in a hopeful way, with a romance or personal growth for the main characters. Also YA or Adult.

#MSWL

Ok, now the good stuff:

Give me all the #Latinx stories. But a specific one I'd really like to see is one set in PR during the governor protests in OSJ, I'm thinking enemies-to-lovers. Could be YA or Adult.

3. I am reopening to unsolicited queries on OCTOBER 1, 2019. All queries received before JUNE 1, 2019 have been responded to. If you didn't get a response or queried after June 1st, then you will need to requery.

4. If I have your submission, I'm still reading. I promise. #MSWL

It's #MSWL day & since I'm reopening to queries in a WEEK (eep!) I thought it would be a great idea to go over what I want to see in my inbox.

Caveat: These are things I want to see, but there are definitely things I haven't thought of, so if you think I will like it query me!!

Seriously #mswl any #romance that can comp this relationship.

Also, authors, I’ve updated my #MSWL in advance of opening back up to queries in October. I have expanded my genres to include adult SFF and updated my submission guidelines. I’m including the link to make your research life easier. 😊

QUERY UPDATE: You guys, I'm down to 0 unread queries! If you sent a query before June 1st & haven't heard from me, something got lost somewhere. I plan to re-open to unsolicited queries on October 1st. My #MSWL has been updated & new instructions will be posted so pay attention!

I want more #Latinx everything, but this is a good start. #MSWL
